What course in which uni do most Ruse graduates go to? (1 Viewer)

[D-BOSS]

I know that some Ruse students do medicine but are they the majority? I notice most Ruse graduates do medicine at UNSW. But why medicine? Why UNSW? Isn't USYD ranked higher in medicine? I'm gathering current and ex Ruse students and what they're interested in/doing right now.

I was told there is an unofficial limit of 38 each year for Medicine for Ruse students. So if, in a given year, 55 are good enough to be accepted, only 38 of them will make it into Medicine.
That's what I heard, anyway.

Is that for a specific university, or altogether? And is the limit only for James Ruse, or do all schools have such a limit?

I believe he's referring to UNSW Medicine. No other schools have this limit as they don't have the scoring ability to reach above 20 people for medicine at UNSW consistently.

I guess it must be the UNSW. Most people, esp Ruse students, would aim for UNSW as 1st choice for undergrad-entry Medicine.

What's the point of going to Ruse? Wouldn't you have a higher chance of getting into UNSW Med from a private school or something since 38 is the limit?

Because you have a higher chance of getting that ATAR at Ruse. 1. Environment pressure. 2. Better cohort performance.

If you rank top 5 at another school, will the cohort bring you down?

Top 10-20 private schools, I doubt you would have a problem getting into med with a top 5 rank. But, the thing is, chances are the top 5 are all 100% scholarship students from yr 7 with selective scores high enough to get into Ruse.

See if you can get in first. You're overthinking too soon.

definitely not (assuming the school is ranked decent)

This quota may be just speculation? There’s nothing on the net explicitly stating it.

I already got into SCEGGS Darlinghurst- it's a small school but their rank is consistently 10-20

^very bold of you to change school based on some random unauthenticated post on this forum lol.

As long as the social effect isn't much, I would go SCEGGS. But then again, I would go for the connections rather than med.

Nope literally no impact besides selective schools having more pressure to do well. My friend went to a rank 300+ school and still got 99.75. Just up to you to decide your atar

I went to a school around rank 50-60, a catholic school. Everyone helped each other a lot so it was a supportive environment with good teachers in some subjects

Wow, regardless of the school, amazing work.

From what I recall, UCAT is for UG admissions to most other universities, whereas GAMSAT is required for USYD postgrad med. Regardless of whatever it's called, it's not quite the focus of my point lol.

lol, yeah. You definitely know more than me, but I was just confused cause my sister did UCAT like recently and said you need to do well in UCAT and HSC to get into medicine. idk honestly
